Chief Ekweoba Muoghalu “Onwa” , was a very powerful member of Igwe’s cabinet, a well known business man who used his wealth and influence to touch almost every Umuojian.

His Alliance group of Companies was listed among the biggest in West Africa.
Onwa as he was famously known, single handedly gave Umuoji one of it’s functional roads that link most Umuoji Villages to Nkpor- Nnobi road. It is to his exemplary life and credit that most villages in Umuoji are now connected to the National Electricity grid.
